Pasta with butter and Parmigiano, soft polenta, risotto, baked eggs, scrambled eggs, soft cheeses, beef carpaccio. Unlike Alba white, the autumn black truffle takes well to gentle heat. Slice into warm butter and let it infuse, or fold into a cream reduction for pasta and gnocchi. Avoid rolling boil and high oven heat, both flatten the aroma. Maximising flavour Fresh truffle is at its best at room temperature, take it out of the fridge 15 to 20 minutes before serving. A small grating of truffle right at the end will always read stronger than a generous one cooked in. Pair with truffle butter or a few drops of truffle oil to extend the aroma across the plate. Restaurants do exactly this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecies: Tuber Uncinatum (autumn black truffle, also known as Burgundy truffle). Season: September to January. Weight: 100g total. Because this is a wild, foraged product, individual sizes vary. Average single truffle is 10 to 20g. We always try to ship whole pieces, occasionally orders are made up of two or three truffles to reach 100g. Cleaning Your truffles may arrive with a fine dusting of soil or sand from the forest floor, this is a good sign of freshness. Dab gently with a damp cloth before use. Do not soak. Keeping fresh Wrap each truffle individually in clean kitchen paper. Place in an airtight glass jar in the coldest part of the fridge, ideally 1 to 2°C, never the freezer. Change the paper every morning, this draws off moisture and stops the truffle sweating.

Never pair with strong herbs, garlic, citrus or vinegar, all of these mask the aroma. Reality check on aroma Fresh truffle in your kitchen smells less aggressive than fresh truffle in a restaurant, this is normal. Restaurants reinforce with truffle butter and oil under the dish.

Do not thaw fully, soft truffle is hard to slice and loses juice. Dice or grate the frozen truffle directly into the dish. Cooking applications where Perigord shines: Truffle butter: blend finely chopped truffle into softened unsalted butter with a pinch of salt, roll, chill, slice onto steak or hot toast. Risotto: stir minced truffle in during the last 3 to 4 minutes, finish with butter and Parmigiano off the heat. Cream sauces: infuse hot cream with truffle for 10 minutes, then build the sauce. Excellent with tagliatelle, gnocchi or chicken. Eggs: fold finely chopped truffle into the cream before scrambling. Under the skin: slip thin slices under the skin of a chicken or guinea fowl 24 hours before roasting, the fat carries the aroma through the bird.
